[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments, you wonderful strong women. I am going to leave but worried he will come to find me and kids (I have family nearby). I can't imagine going to a shelter. Could someone tell me what a protective order entails. Does he get escorted away by police? (I wouldn't want my kids to see that either), do you have to file immediately after the incident? Thank you all so much.[/quote] OP, are you in VA, MD, or DC? Maybe we can help you with specifics. In the meantime, can you call this number to talk through some options? You need to develop a safe exit plan, including informing others, getting copies to important documents, medication, keys, access to funds and of course a protective order. You will need to make sure that all places your children go (school, daycare, etc) are informed and will act upon a protective order/custody order.
